Greasepaint Theatre will present the family favorite, ELF JR, December 6 – 15, 2024. Buddy, a young orphan, mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. The would-be elf is raised, unaware that he is actually a human, until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa’s permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. Faced with the harsh reality that his father is on the naughty list and that his half-brother doesn’t even believe in Santa, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas
The production will star Asher Johnston as Buddy, Claire Likes as Jovie, Oliver Christie as Walter, Schyler MacMichael as Michael, Wade Miller as Charlie, Charlotte Brady as Shawanda.
Performances will run December 6 – 15, 2024. The production is directed by Stephanie Likes, music directed by Elise Kurbat, choreographed by Liz Del Vecchio, and stage managed by Andru Moeller and Jordan Cline.
